I started working at MUTV exactly six years ago this week, and today I handed in my resignation letter to try my luck in the world of freelance production. It’s a pretty big decision, and something I’ve been contemplating for quite a while, but now it’s all very real, and I finish working there at the end of the month.
This last year I’ve been able to build up some good contacts by doing various bits of work, and get myself known a bit with different companies and producers, so I feel now is the right time to take the plunge and go totally freelance.
It’ll be weird leaving MUTV after all this time – especially not working with some really cool people every day – but I’ve just got quite bored working on football stuff, and I’m really looking forward to doing a greater variety of work, and getting back to doing some more camerawork as well.
Anyway, it’ll probably be quite scary at first – especially since there’s no guarantee of a regular wage, and all those bills still need to be paid… but hopefully it’ll all work out okay!
